I am so stuck. Poor DS3 is 8 days old and we cannot decide on a name. I started a thread before but have lost it in the depths of MN The shortlist so far, favourites at the top are-
Laurence (my favourite I think but not biblical)
Thomas (seems abit 'obvious')
Joshua (love it but people would think we named them all J... on purpose and it sounds abit odd with 2 other Js)
Caleb
Callum (calum?)
Jacob
I like Rupert too, DH doesn't...

I want a nice solid name, pref. biblical, and will need 2 middle names too Patrick I love too, but it's one of DS1s middle names.... ditto Malachi (one of DS2s). I have been waiting for it to just come to me like DS 1 and 2 but nothing is "right"....

Charles

Jacob was my immediate thought too!

nbee84 · 14/07/2010 18:48

The first name that came to my mind was Joshua - it fits so well

00000000000000 · 14/07/2010 18:48

jonathan was my immediate thought

PiggyPenguin · 14/07/2010 18:46

Joshua would be fab I think.

If you like the name what does it matter if they all start with the same initial? You are going to be saying it every day for the rest of your life. Might as well make it one you actually want.

Jacob was my first thought....before I even opened the post.

James, Joseph and Joshua/Jacob would be cool, but the alliteration's a bit Jermaine Jackson. I've always liked Caleb, and I like Laurence too. I'm not keen on Thomas or Rupert, but if you want solid Biblical names, then I think John is a great name, all the moreso for being underused nowadays.
